The integrated innovation satisfies new market or customer needs by combination of different technologies. The integration requires that element must be optimized, matched, and then combined into a whole technology system while not simply piling and regrouping. This paper put forward the functions as basis of technology selection. Axiomatic design is introduced to aid to decomposing the function and structure with its framework of independence axiom to minimize the dependence of functions of product. The design matrices and full design matrix indicate the interrelations between all functions and technologies. The new technology is chosen to implement the desired functions that satisfy more customer needs and then integrated into a whole system according to the interactions of functions.

Abstract This paper describes an Axiomatic Design process enhanced by the House of Quality that combines the advantages of these two methods: 1) the House of Quality is used to translate customer needs into engineering specifications; 2) decomposition by theme is used to determine the Basic Functional Requirements; 3) engineering specifications are categorized into strategies, constraints, Quality Functional Requirements and possible Basic Functional Requirements; 4) Quality Functional Requirements are assigned to different Basic Functional Requirements; 5) Basic Design Matrix, Single Quality Design Matrix and Cross Quality Design Matrix are generated to study and evaluate design concepts from different aspects. By using this approach, it is possible that an improved understanding and higher efficiency of the design process may be achieved.

Viewing Experience

With the explosion of smart devices, tablets can currently be found everywhere. From schools to kiosks to watching movies in bed, these devices are prevalent everywhere in modern life. The problem with watching movies in bed using tablets is the necessity of hand usage. The market currently holds a few products that attempt to solve this, but none truly frees the user, allowing them hands-free usage with an easy exit of the bed. In this paper, we will describe a design which, utilizing axiomatic design, will out-perform anything currently existing in the same field, by giving a stable viewing experience while fitting to nearly any bed or sofa. Axiomatic Design ensured a comprehensive design process by ensuring customer needs were transformed into carefully thought out functional requirements and design parameters while maintaining modularity.

The automotive industry is facing economic and technical challenges. The economic situation calls for more efficient processes, not only production processes but also renewals in the development process. Accelerating design work and simultaneously securing safe process outcome leads to products in good correspondence with market demands and institutional goals on safe traffic environments. The technique challenge is going from almost pure mechanical constructions to mechatronic systems, where computer-based solutions may affect core vehicle functionality. Since subcontractors often develop this new technology, system integration is increasingly important for the car manufacturers. To meet these challenges we suggest the simulator-based design approach. This chapter focuses on human-in-the- loop simulation, which ought to be used for design and integration of all car functionality affecting the driver. This approach has been proved successful by the aerospace industry, which in the late 1960s recognized a corresponding technology shift.

<span>Effective evaluation is necessary in order to ensure systems adequately meet the requirements and information processing needs of the users and scope of the system. Technology acceptance model is one of the most popular and effective models for evaluation. A number of studies have proposed evaluation frameworks to aid in evaluation work. The end users for evaluation the acceptance of new technology or system have a lack of knowledge to examine and evaluate some features in the new technology/system. This will give a fake evaluation results of the new technology acceptance. This paper proposes a novel evaluation model to evaluate user acceptance of software and system technology by modifying the dimensions of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and added additional success dimensions for expert users. The proposed model has been validated by an empirical study based on a questionnaire. The results indicated that the expert users have a strong significant influence to help in evaluation and pay attention to some features that end users have lack of knowledge to evaluate it.</span>

Analysis And Design

Recently, much attention has been focused on the design of the fuel assemblies in the Pressurized Light Water Reactor (PLWR). The spacer grid is one of the main structural components in a fuel assembly. It supports fuel rods, guides cooling water, and maintains geometry from the external impact loads. In this research, a new shape of the spacer grid is designed by the axiomatic approach. The Independence Axiom is utilized for the design. For the conceptual design, functional requirements (FRs) are defined and corresponding design parameters (DPs) are found to satisfy FRs in sequence. Overall configuration and shapes are determined in this process. Detailed design is carried out based on the result of the axiomatic design. For the detailed design, the system performances are evaluated by using linear and nonlinear finite element analysis. The dimensions are determined by optimization. Some commercial codes are utilized for the analysis and design.

Independence Axiom offers designers a guide to good design. It declares that the design parameters (DPs) conceived for a good design must maintain the independence of the design functional requirements (FRs). Specifically, by relating FRs to DPs through a design matrix [DM] with elements ∂FRi/∂DPj, Independence Axiom declares that only designs with diagonal or triangular design matrix can maintain the functional independence of FRs; and that they should be the only acceptable ones. Starting with the formal definition of functional independence, we derive the criterion for functional independence of FRs as the Jacobian determinant | J | ≠ 0; where the Jacobian matrix [ J ] is shown to be identically equal to [DM]. We further show that if and only if | J | ≠ 0 can the design FRs achieve their target values. Thus the criterion | J | ≠ 0 substantiates the declaration of Independence Axiom since determinant of a diagonal or triangular design matrix is not equal to zero. It serves as the mathematical basis for teaching and implementing Independence Axiom in design. Two case studies are presented to illustrate the implementation of Independence Axiom via the Jacobian determinant | J |.

The authors have students draw Functional Requirement (FR) – Design Parameter (DP) charts for their free subject design assignments before teaching them Axiomatic Design (AD) in detail. The students cannot list all important FRs and DPs even with Zigzag thinking between FR and DP from higher level to lower; then, they tend to list FRs chronologically like flowcharts and DPs spatially like bill of material. The strategy, however, often results in different counts of FRs and DPs and a number of interferences among them. When this happens, we lead the students to carry out the thinking processes of functional integration of FRs and physical integration of DPs so they can reach a regular matrix for the design equation. Once regularization is reached, the students can apply independence axiom to improve their designs.
